What a great deal! On an unrelated note, I just found out that my Wave 5 will be here Wednesday. I wonder why it took so long for it to ship out?

I've been noticing, when I've bought things on sale days over the past few months, the shipping time has gotten longer.

The MOTUC subs ship out early, but I ordered Keldor, Lobo and Venkman on sale day, and they're not arriving until tomorrow - looks like it takes 2-3 days for them to get the orders processed and shipped.

It's not a huge deal to be honest, but the turnaround has become 1-2 days longer than it had been.

Someone who got their hands on the next issue of Toyfare, due out next week, revealed that a new Bane, Jonah Hex, Creeper, and Kyle Rayner (in his Blackest Night outfit) are confirmed and will be at SDCC

I recently got a DC Superheroes Supergirl. She has a black skirt, black boots, and the area of the "S Shield" that would normally be yellow is black. Is there any significance to this color scheme, or is it just a variant?

To my knowledge, nobody's reported finding it yet. Should start showing up any day now.....

That'd be Wave 14, the Wal-Mart wave - and yes, any time now - Mattel had said about a month ago we were 45-60 days out from seeing it due a minor delay on approving something on their end, IIRC, but those estimates are usually on the long side. I'll be surprised if the first sightings don't start before the end of July.

That said, I'm not looking forward to it - I am still batting 8% on the Wal-Mart figures. (I have found 1 out of 12 figures, between the two waves, on the shelves.)

Just announced at the SDCC panel that the Legion of Superheroes are coming in a 12-pack! Let's see, 12 figures times $15 a pop equals $180......

Yeah, unless they break these up into 5-packs, 2-packs or single figures, I only see the super hardcore Legion fans or completists picking this up.... (I assume 11 of them will come with CnC pieces to make Colossal Boy)

I want the classic Robin and Riddler, but no interest in the rest of that assortment OR the GL wave. Is that a mass market wave? Because... I mean, as successful as the GL comics have been in recent years, is ANYONE going to buy these?

I'm a completist, so I'm grabbing everything! Personally, I'm quite excited for Black Hand & the Manhunter Robot. Also glad to finally get Kyle, but I'm one of the few who'd prefer he be in his 90's togs w/the crab mask.

Only thing that makes me wince is that Legion 12-pack. That's a lot of $$$ to drop at once.

Oh, and TRU is getting a repainted Joker in black.

Read a bunch of rumors floating around for the Wave 17 lineup: Take it for what it's worth.....

I dunno - Vixen is probably the biggest lock from those. I could also see Warlord, as he's just one of those semi-obscure "huh?" choices that Mattel seems to love to throw into each wave. Sandman would continue the JSA push, and Elasti-girl has been hinted at for quite a while, and there hasn't been a Doom Patroller since Wave 13. Aquaman, Ivy & Scarecrow don't jibe with me. I'm fine with the DCSH Scarecrow, and would rather we not get a re-do, UNLESS they do him up ala Super Friends. (Read: Wave 16 Riddler) I'd love for both 90's Aquaman & Poison Ivy to be true, but considering it's been this long w/o either of them, I'll believe it when I see it. If it DOES turn out to be the lineup, Ivy better be the variant with green and normal skin tone!

I'm really torn about the LOSH set. I'm not a big LOSH fan, so I can live without them, but I'm also something of a completist. I'd definitely want Cosmic Boy, Saturn Girl, Lightning Lad and Brainiac 5, but don't particularly care about the others. I'll have to see how I'm fixed for funds closer to their release.

I am loving Wave 16 -that's like the ideal Riddler (who is hands down my favorite comic character.) That Azbats is a thing of beauty, and the rest of the wave is really nicely done (classic Robin has been on my want list for a while.) Now - where's my Poison Ivy??

The GL series is a neat bit of diversity, and I will be picking it up, but I had hoped for a few more 'classic' characters than just the Manhunter. (We still need Star Sapphire, Arisia, Salaak, Dr. Polaris, Evil Star, etc.) But I heard that there was a teaser image of Ch'p shown - so maybe he'll come with someone as a pack-in in the second wave...maybe Salaak! (I can dream!) And I'm happy to see they're fixing the classic Sinestro as well, but I wish I didn't have to buy another GL to get him.
